Making Blood Agar Plates with INTEGRA’s MediaJet
26 Jul 2015
This video shows how INTEGRA’s MediaJet aids in the production of high quality blood agar petri-dishes. Blood is mixed with the warm Agar just as the dishes are poured using a DOSE IT peristaltic pump. This minimizes the time where the blood is heated and de-natured, the results are perfectly red blood agar plates.
